Hello there and welcome to Bleeping Computer's security forum.My name is David, I will be helping you with your log today.

I mainly see leftovers here of a previous infection, but let's fix them anyway.Start HijackThis, close all open windows leaving only HijackThis running. Place a check against each of the following if still present:

Click on Fix Checked when finished and exit HijackThis.Make sure your Internet Explorer is closed when you click Fix Checked!

Please perform this online scan: Kaspersky WebscanRead the Requirements and Privacy statement, then select "Accept"A dialogue box will appearing asking "Do you want to install this software?" Name: kavwebscan_unicode.cabSelect "Install" to download the ActiveX controls that allows ActiveScan to run.When the download is complete it will say ready, click "Next"Select a target to scan: Click on "My Computer"When the scan is complete choose to save the results as "Save as Text"Post the Kaspersky scan results in your next reply, along with a new Hijackthis log.

Glad I could help! The latest log is looking clean! Follow this list and your potential for being infected again will be reduced dramatically.

Use an Anti Virus Software - * It is very important that your computer has an anti-virus software running on your machine. * This alone can save you a lot of trouble with malware in the future. See this link for a listing of some on line & their stand-alone anti virus programs: * Click here for more information on -> Computer Safety On line - Anti-Virus* I would recommend Grisoft's AVG or AVAST. * These are the more secure and better ones.

Update your Anti Virus Software - It is imperitive that you update your Anti virus software at least once a week (Even more if you wish). If you do not update your anti virus software then it will not be able to catch any of the new variants that may come out.

Use a Firewall - * I can not stress how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer. * Without a firewall your computer is susceptible to being hacked and taken over. * Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly. * For an article on Firewalls and a listing of some available ones see the link below: * Click here for more information on -> Computer Safety On line - Software Firewalls* I would recommend ZoneAlarm as a firewall as it's easy to use.

Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - * It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly. * This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. * If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.

Next, if they're not already present, I would recommend the download and installation of some or all of the following programs (all free), and the updating of them regularly
